Manuscript Editing for University of Pennsylvania Law Review Journal Articles
Founded in 1852 as the American Law Register, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review provides a forum for original legal research of the highest quality. It serves the profession, bench, bar, and academy, and trains its Associate Editors in editorial work. The Law Review publishes itself from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.
Articles are strongly preferred under 30,000 words including footnotes, and 35,000 words is the upper limit. Essays run about 10,000 to 15,000 words, footnotes included. Manuscripts go in as Microsoft Word files with a short abstract and the author's CV. Citations follow The Bluebook, 22nd edition, and appear in footnotes. From Volume 175, the cover letter describes which AI tools were used and how they aided the work. Our law review editing places every citation in a footnote and checks its form against the 22nd edition. Submissions go through Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the University of Pennsylvania Law Review
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to University of Pennsylvania Law Review.
The Review's submission guidelines cover length, format, and AI disclosure. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our legal editing services include law review editing, line editing, Bluebook citation checking for form, and journal formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Virginia Law Review and The University of Chicago Law Review.
